Chapter 156: Flying Thunder Cannon Offensive

"Rush up, rush up!" The warriors on the Shapo position could see clearly on the opposite side and couldn't help cheering. Deputy Regiment Commander Xu, who was guarding here, picked up the binoculars and looked at it, was shocked, and hurriedly said: "It's not good, let Camp Commander Zhang and them retreat!" ”

The acting battalion commander was puzzled: "Deputy seat, why is this?" ”

Deputy Head Xu waved his hand and said, "It's too late to explain, send a signal immediately!" ”

The acting battalion commander hurriedly ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet, and the herald fired three green flares, which were the previously confirmed emergency retreat signals.

Da, da, as soon as the signal was issued, the heavy machine guns placed by the Japanese troops in the bunker suddenly opened fire. In order to prevent Zhang Ying from approaching, they even strafed the retreating Japanese troops. The soldiers were chasing after the Japanese army, thinking that the Japanese army in front of them was a meat shield, so they did not take precautions, and as a result, they suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Watching the soldiers fall in a pool of blood one after another, Battalion Commander Zhang's eyes were split, and he roared angrily: "Little devil, Grandpa Zhang fought with you!" ”

The commander of the engineer company, Huo Company, hurriedly grabbed it and shouted: "Camp, withdraw quickly, it is important to keep the fortifications!" ”

Battalion Commander Zhang calmed down a little and hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw. However, the troops were exposed to the unsheltered slope, and it was not easy to withdraw smoothly, but fortunately there were sandy slope positions. Deputy Regiment Commander Xu commanded the troops to desperately attack the Japanese machine-gun positions, destroying three heavy machine guns in one company, and finally suppressing the Japanese firepower.

The troops withdrew to a position of 150 meters, and finally stabilized their positions with the help of the screen of earthen tanks. Battalion Commander Zhang learned from the pain, ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications here first, and dug a bomb shelter along the path to the bottom of the top of the wall. In this way, if reinforcements come up, they will not be afraid of Japanese machine-gun fire.

Although the assault on the front hill failed, the first battalion grabbed a foothold in the back hill. As soon as the mortar fire stopped, Zhang Gensheng led the reconnaissance company to rush up again. The place that had just been shelled by the mortar was still a little hot, and the corpses all over the ground had not had time to be buried.

Zhang Gensheng brought three platoons up this time, leaving only four platoons to build fortifications on the ridgeline. The fighters fought and charged with automatic firearms, and soon occupied a cave.

The Japanese army, of course, was not reconciled to defeat and soon launched a ferocious counterattack. A group of daredevils were quickly selected. They tied a white cloth ribbon with a small sun painted on their heads, shouted Hurrah, picked up the explosives bag and rushed over.

Zhang Lian shouted: "Fight!" "I took out the fast and slow machine, and swept it out with a shuttle. These former Northeast beards have a unique skill, that is, they can bend bullets with their legs, so they attack extremely quickly when fighting.

However, the Japanese attack was also very stubborn, and these soldiers rushed forward with the determination to die, and the rain of bullets did not shake the pace of their attack. Although there were many of them falling on the road, as long as one rushed in, it was enough to reimburse the opponent for a platoon.

At the critical moment, a large row of people roared: "Everyone with the handle is rushing with me!" The soldiers in the platoon rushed forward desperately, taking advantage of the melee advantage of the shell guns, and finally forced the Japanese to push back. However, a wounded Japanese soldier suddenly pulled off the explosive bag, and many soldiers, including a platoon leader, were blown to pieces on the spot.

The leader of the second platoon was shocked and shouted: "The wind is tight (the enemy is strong),!" Many soldiers were also flustered and wanted to run away after the second platoon leader.

Zhang Gensheng grabbed the second platoon commander with his head, and shot him in the head, and the plasma suddenly splashed on his face. The warriors were taken aback and hurriedly stopped their flight.

The deputy company commander took the opportunity to shout: "When the deserter loses the face of the eight generations of ancestors, it is the masters who go back to kill the devil!" As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese army. Seeing that the deputy company commander had taken the lead, and what else was there to say, the soldiers immediately rushed forward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mimura Brigade hurriedly drew a squadron from the reserve and squeezed the reconnaissance company in three directions. Although the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were brave, they were alone and had no heavy weapons, so they were quickly defeated and retreated. Company Commander Zhang Gensheng rushed desperately to kill, and he was also shot in the shoulder, and the blood flowed down his shoulder and stained a large piece red, which looked terrifying.

The deputy company commander hurriedly said: "Company commander, you withdraw the ridge line first, and I will break it later!" ”

Company Commander Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

Sure enough, Director Xiong personally came up with a battalion of main forces. Seeing that the reconnaissance company had suffered heavy casualties, he hurriedly ordered the first and second companies to advance from the two flanks, while the third company stayed behind to strengthen the fortifications on the ridgeline.

With two companies of fresh troops, this wave of Japanese offensive was finally repulsed. Seeing the increasing number of Chinese troops coming in, the captain of the Mimura Brigade knew that it would be impossible to regain his position in a short time, so he had to abandon a few caves and then hold on to the second line of defense.

As mentioned earlier, all the caves on the top of the wall were opened by the Japanese army and then transformed into a dark fort. There are more than 50 caves on the top of the wall, which constitutes a huge group of hidden castles. So don't think that rushing to the top of the wall is done, in fact, you just win the opportunity to go head-to-head with the Japanese army.

Historically, the special service group of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also rushed up and took several caves one after another. Unfortunately, the lack of heavy weapons made it impossible to break through the three-dimensional defense of the Japanese army. This time was no exception, Zhang Gensheng led the reconnaissance company to launch a fierce attack again, but he accidentally suffered a big loss.

The commander of the first company hurriedly asked: "Take a seat, let's connect it instead!" ”

Seeing that the Japanese army's fortifications were indeed strong, Director Xiong knew that fighting like this would only increase casualties, so he hurriedly said: "Hold the position first, and quickly notify the following to bring up the flying thunder cannon!" ”

Thunder cannons, commonly known as projectiles, are weapons used to throw packets of explosives at close range. It was widely used in the Huaihai battlefield in the War of Liberation. The one used by the 332nd regiment is slightly different, it is remodeled from a waste oxygen cylinder, which is less powerful than a gasoline cannon, but it is more convenient to move.

Rumble! The loud bang should be followed by at least a minute-long trill, which is the power of the Flying Thunder Cannon. Most of the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were blown up and bleeding, and those who survived also suffered severe concussions.

Rumble! Again, half of a bunker was blown up, and the Japanese soldiers stationed inside were either killed or wounded, and fled to the adjacent cave one by one screaming.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A loud bang struck the hearts of the Japanese soldiers like a sledgehammer.

"Report! Your Excellency, Brigade Commander Mimura Shaoza, said that the Chinese army is attacking our army's defense line with a new weapon, and the power is as great as a field heavy artillery! A communicator panicked and ran into Tomaki's headquarters.

Tomamidi's eyes were red, and he waved his command knife and roared angrily: "Eight Ge Yalu! Sancun, the stupid donkey, lost his position for something! ”

The correspondent was so frightened that his voice trembled, and he said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, the offensive of the Chinese army is too fierce! They have a reinforced battalion of troops, and mortar units to match! ”

Tomami said angrily: "This is not a reason! You go back and tell Mimura that if the position can't be recaptured, I will send him to a court-martial! ”

The correspondent hurriedly said: "Hai! Then he hugged his head and ran away, for fear of being chopped by the rampaging Tomamidi.

After the correspondent left, Tomami sat down in his chair and muttered, "Is it time for me to be loyal to His Majesty?" I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly! He touched a medal and held it in his hand and kept stroking it, as if recalling the "glory" of the past.

The staff officer quietly walked in and said softly: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, you have nothing to do!" ”

Tomami sighed, his expression extremely gloomy. He handed the Emperor's Medal to his staff officer and said, "Just two months ago I was a hero of the empire, leading the troops to fight and flee from the army. Now, however, I have become a sinner in the Empire, a victim of the Chinese army's hunting. ”

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, reinforcements are coming, and there will be planes to help after dawn, you can't lose confidence in victory!" ”

Tomamichi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's useless, did you hear the loud noise outside?" This is the death knell that rings for me, the fourth floor of Tomamidi! ”

Following the success of Houshan, Qianshan also increased the pace of the attack, and the earth tanks were soon pushed to the slope only fifty meters from the top of the wall. The Japanese army hurriedly mobilized all its forces and launched an extremely fierce counterattack against the Chinese troops on both sides. Both sides fought to the death and fought extremely fiercely.

However, the Chinese army still had a large number of reserves, and the strength of the two battalions quickly rushed to the battlefield in the front and rear mountains. The Japanese army originally had only more than 1,000 people, and most of them had been damaged by the end of the day. In addition, yesterday I rushed nearly 100 miles of road, and dug fortifications for most of the night. The strength and physical strength have reached the limit.

At first, he was able to fight with the 33rd Division with the advantages of training and terrain, but after a long time, he could not hold on, so he had to retract to the core fortifications on the top of the wall, and the outer positions were forced to be abandoned.

Panlong Town, 33rd Division Headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhou put down the phone and said happily: "Division, there is good news from the front!" Our troops have already attacked the top of the wall from both sides and have taken up a solid position. ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, this night's hard work has not been in vain!" He looked outside, and saw that the east was already whiteβ€”it was almost dawn!

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Division, please ask for instructions on whether to continue the offensive or stabilize the position first. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "It's almost dawn, and the Japanese planes will definitely arrive." Let the troops be stable and ready for air defense! ”
